That might be an old fashion hack for some wordpress bloggers but surprisingly I found search result pages showing at least 3.0 Million wordpress blogs suffering this issue.

Going straight to the point, if you are on WordPress you should check your plugins folder security by simply browsing to your-wordpress-blog.com/wp-content/plugins If you get the index of your plugins directory then *congratulations* all your plugins are naked and ready to be downloaded by anyone! Although more than 90% of blogs used free ready-made plugins but some of you might have customized or paid ones that need to be secured.

Here is a screenshot  of what your should see…

Doing a simple search you will find some wordpress blogs already fixed their folder but many others with interesting plugins still did not fix it or even still don’t know about it.

Walking an extra mile in design accessibility might cost some time, but with little easy tweaks you could improve site visitor experience and accessibility with a customized 404 error page.

Obviously, a 404 page shown when a visitor reached a url that can’t be found on the server, whatever the reason is your 404 page should deliver a clear message to the visitor and avoid any confusions, and as per Google webmaster central using a soft 404 page is not recommended for SEO reasons as quoted from google webmaster central
